The significance of True RMS
29 November, 2011 byThe rapid changes in technology have meant that methods previously used for testing equipment are no longer accurate in many cases. Because an electrician comes across new technology on a regular basis, not to have a True RMS (root mean square) meter can be compared to a boxer going into a fight with one arm tied behind his back. In this article, Phil Collins, Engineering Support Manager, Techtronics Australia, explains what True RMS (TRMS) is and how to find it.
